The biggest threat to the future of Oxfordshire’s economy is transport.

That is the key finding of a major new report which interviewed more than 120 county companies. The results show 76 percent of the company owners and directors believe traffic jams and the quality of transport are affecting their business.

More than 30 percent say this is costing them dearly in the form of extra fuel(燃料) costs, while some say the situation of being stuck in jams on key roads such as the A34 and A40 every day is making it harder to employ workers.

But lack of safer cycling plans is encouraging 72 percent of people to continue to go to work by car.

The report has led the government to try to work out a solution to the situation on the county’s crowded roads.

Nicola Blackwood, an official of Oxfordshire, recently brought transport minister Stephen Hammond to the county and said he became stuck in a traffic jam on the A34.

As a result, he has promised that he will aim to look at entire roads, rather than individual projects such as improving junctions (交叉路口).

Ms Blackwood said: “If we are able to achieve anything like our economic growth, we need to solve the problems that not only affect the new companies but also the growth of existing local businesses. What I want to see most of all is the quick production of a plan to solve the problem of the A34.”

John Cardy, co-founder of Garden Games, said he had considered moving his business from a farm in Garford to Witney but traffic fears had made him reconsider. He added: “Most of our employees were not prepared to use the A40 which is always crowded.”

1.According to the report, _____.

A. the A34 and A40 are the most crowded roads

B. more and more workers are losing their jobs

C. companies spend more on fuel than before

D. there is a serious lack of fuel

2.What do we know about the report mentioned in the text?

A. It aims to develop safer cycling plans.

B. It focuses on the unemployment problem.

C. It has attracted the government’s attention.

D. It is based on Stephen Hammond’s experience.

3.According to Ms Blackwood, what’s the most important thing to do?

A. To solve the problem of heavy traffic.

B. To limit the growth of new businesses.

C. To invite the transport minister to Oxfordshire.

D. To find ways to develop the county’s economy.

4.John Cardy’s worry shows _____.

A. his employees are always caught in traffic jams on the A40

B. most of his employees aren’t satisfied with him

C. transport is holding back business growth

D. business growth leads to traffic jams
